A Whole New You

I've been wanting to host another package swap for a while and the other day while I was painting I came up with the perfect idea! (I'm starting to think I come up with my best ideas whilst painting!) I've had a lot of people show interest in me hosting another Color Me Happy Swap but I thought it would be fun to create a new idea, I promise to do another Color Me Happy Swap in the new year!

And thus, without further ado...

The Whole New You Package Exchange

Every year around New Years people start thinking about how to change themselves for the better, go on a diet, quit smoking, stop drinking, you know the routine. Well, I think you're lovely just the way you are and this exchange is about loving who you are and sharing what makes you you.

About the Exchange:

From now until the beginning of the year think about things that make you you. The mascara that makes your eyes pop, the music you dance around your bedroom to, the candy you snack on, the people you love, etc. You will then send 3 of these things & 1 note explaining why these things help you be you to your exchange partner.

Swap Partners:

For this swap you will be paired with one person who you will send to & recieve from. That way you really get to know the person you're sharing your intermost secrets with.

Overseas:

If you live outside of the US you will be paired with someone from a different country. If you live within the US please make a note as to wether or not you're willing to send a package outside of the US.

2. I'm not putting a monetary requirement on this exchange as I don't want anyone to not join because of financial reasons but please keep in mind that quality gifts are appreciated and make sure that you would be happy to recieve the gifts that you send.

Dates:

Please email me by Christmas (December 25) if you'd like to participate. I will email swap partners by the end of the year (December 31) and I'll give you a little while to get rid of your New Year's hangover and ask that the packages be sent by January 31.

The love in my life is abundant, the happiness is even greater. I love my husband (Jus), our son (Rivers), our dogs (Layla & Edie Sedgwick), our cat (Jack), redoing our Behemoth of a house, reading, and everything lovely. Adventures in Love & Happiness is my place to stash what I love, what inspires me, and our adventures in making a home, being in love and learning how to be a mama.
